Elbit Systems Ltd. is a premier global defense contractor and the primary provider of land-based equipment and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the Israeli military. The company operates as a "system of systems" integrator, specializing in the digital transformation of the modern battlefield. By leveraging advanced sensors, artificial intelligence, and autonomous capabilities, Elbit provides the technological backbone for multi-domain operations across air, land, sea, and cyber environments. In 2025, the company reported a record order backlog exceeding $25 billion, reflecting surging demand from NATO countries and the U.S. Department of Defense.

Core Business and Products

The company’s operations are organized into five key reportable segments:

  1. Aerospace: Provides unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) like the Hermes 900, flight simulators, and advanced avionics, including the industry-standard Night Vision Goggles and Head-Up Displays (NVG-HUD).
  2. C4I and Cyber: Develops secure communication networks, battle management systems, and cyber-intelligence solutions for government and military agencies.
  3. ISTAR and EW: Focuses on Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) alongside sophisticated Electronic Warfare (EW) and Directed Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) systems.
  4. Land Systems: Produces artillery, mortar systems (PULS), rocket launchers, and the "Iron Fist" Active Protection System (APS) for armored vehicles like the U.S. Army’s Bradley.
  5. Elbit Systems of America (ESA): A dedicated U.S. subsidiary that serves as a major subcontractor to the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. military.

Competitive Landscape

Elbit competes with global aerospace and defense giants, particularly in the areas of electronic warfare and unmanned systems. Its primary rivals include Lockheed Martin, RTX Corporation, and Northrop Grumman. In the specialized niche of high-precision components and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul), it faces competition from Heico and Curtiss-Wright. Within the European market, it frequently competes or collaborates with BAE Systems and Leonardo. Elbit differentiates itself through "battle-tested" technology and a decentralized global footprint that allows it to bypass certain regional export restrictions and support local supply chains.

Strategic Outlook and Innovation

The strategic outlook for 2026 is defined by the global "re-armament" cycle, with a focus on high-margin autonomous systems and directed-energy weapons. Innovation efforts are currently concentrated on the "Iron Beam" high-power laser system and the integration of AI-driven target recognition across its UAV fleet. The company is also expanding its "sovereign cloud" defense offerings, allowing allied nations to maintain data residency for their military networks. By shifting toward fixed-wing aircraft upgrades and high-growth commercial aviation aerostructures, the group aims to diversify its revenue streams while maintaining its dominance in the defense sector. The ongoing integration of recent acquisitions, such as IMI Systems and Sparton, is expected to continue driving operational efficiency and margin expansion toward the company’s 10% operating profit target.
